34. I'd never heard of Generation Jones until this very
survey and now I can tell my kids what Generation they are

“Why the ‘Generation Jones’ Vote
May Be Crucial in Election 2008”
By Peter Fenn Published October 23, 2008 Excerpt:
“The one group that might be worth a special look is the “Generation Jones” voters…they are very much up for grabs in this presidential election and in the down-ballot Senate and House races…as Campaign 2008 enters the final days, keep an eye on these voters — they will be critical to the outcome.”

And this link as to why it's called Gen Jones..

"Why “Jones”? The name embodies the idea of a large, unknown, invisible generation. And, Mr. Pontell says, this generation has a “Jones,” or longing, for its own identity and for the world it was promised as children but never received."

Sounds dramatic..poor longing ones. My son was born in the summer of Love. That can't be bad.
